Thank you u/Risla_Amahendir (x4) for the insect cards for me and my friend, and for your stories about those insects. That's fascinating! They are so beautiful, and you know so much about them! I will hand them to him in the second half of the week, and we'll write a response to you together.

Thank you u/Krishnhm1 for the cathedral card and a story about your tasty food! I think I'll cook the same this week!

Thank you u/mongrelood for the r/RAoC_meta Challenge exchange and your story about self care. I love the card that you've made. I loved Faber Castell pencils so much when I was in school - maybe for the reason they were more expensive than the one's that my mother was buying for me (and also soft, I loved soft pencils to write). This card made me sentimental.

Thank you u/NAS-SCARRED_4_Life for the vintage bridge card. I love the US bridges. I don't love that governments in every country are so similar when promising to fix smth that endangers people's everyday life. Hope it will rule out somehow!

Thank you u/zaydia for a cute capybara valentine card! It's very cute. I recently watched "Flow" - there's a capybara in it, a very wise one!

Thank you u/RadTech24 for the Algerian squirrel card (which is also in Tamazight!!! I love this language a lot and I want to study it, as well as Algerian dialect). It's very beautiful. I will send you a card soon.

Thank you u/TheFeistyFox for spoiling me with insect cards :) It's very cool. I was wondering recently whether it's ok to send mail in an envelop made of this transparent paper. Happy to know that it is! It looks so cool!

Thank you u/Starflier55 for this marvellous journey your card has made on it's way to me. (Spiced up with an anti-GDPR action). I loved so much the card and the stickers that you used, and the stories about your chickens! I have the same Scindapsus pictus that is on the sticker inside, and this frog is a very popular graffiti motive in the city. Thank you for the Dodge stamp too! And a cardinal!!

The lady that received my mail (what a sleuth she is!) added a card from herself and wrote me about the journey of your mail. She decided to add a card from herself for one of the reasons that she haven't sent physical mail for ages. :)

Thank you all for such a wonderful haul of cards!!

Hi, RAoC! I'm heading to Japan in a few weeks and I'm super excited because it will be my first time visiting the country during winter and I might even get to see snow! 🌨️❄️🏔️

It's been six years since my last winter experience and I'm not entirely sure I can tolerate the cold as well as I did before, so I spent most of December and January looking for winter clothes that are now washed and packed into my backpack 🧣🧤

With that said, I am offering five winter-themed cards that I will send out before my trip. I will write about the things that I look forward to doing and seeing in Japan

To claim, please:

a) be 20+ flaired with an offer in the last two months

b) indicate card preference

c) optional: give tips for this tropical girlie to survive the cold 🥶

I will close this offer by Thursday

I want to see how far a card can travel from where I am in Michigan, USA.

I will send 5 random cards to the top 5 people who live the farthest away from me in distance.

All I ask is:

• You've been fairly active in RAOC recently, by any means
• You let me know (even by message [not chat]) that you received the card.

If you would like to participate and live internationally, please fill out the form here. Thanks!

Hi. My best friend's daughter-in-law has leukemia. She was originally doing well then her bod said f this and now nothing is working. She's on a list for a stem cell implant. She was diagnosed in the summer and has been in the ICU for 3 months. She's 42.

If you would like to send a card to my friend's DIL, please keep it upbeat and kind. Don't mention the C word, don't say "get well soon." Just be nice, write a joke, get her mind off this situation. She's fond of rainbows, cards, wine, baking and dogs.

If you would like to send a card, please comment below and I'll PM you mailing details. If you already have my info, send to me with "For A" on the back so I know it's for her. Write your username on the envelope somewhere, return address or elsewhere, so I may post a ty. Please don't dox/mention me in your card.

I'll be bundling them and sending them to her wife to bring to her at the hospital. I'll post thank you's for any cards received. Please don't expect a card/reply back from her under the circumstances. <3

u/panda-pac thanks so much for the birthday card! I'm so sad about turning 40. I just feel so much younger than 40 and am torn up about being passes the middle of my life. Your card made me feel special.

u/theisleofmydreams (?? apparently the username doesnt exist so i must be getting the spelling wrong) - thank you for the nice postcard from your city. i loove the washi you used with the rabbit and the postage stamp of the teacup, kettle and waffle is adorable!!

u/peachessandtea - ahh i absolutely loooove beatrix potter and i love the duck! i agree about it being a comfort book. i love the illustrations and the animals. it's all so cute, comforting, and cozy.

u/followingthebeat - this postcard is really pretty i love the color and the floral design against it. the cat stickers are so cute, and i love the puffy sticker.

u/canameow - i got your christmas postcard last week, you sent it before the strike! im so glad thats over for you guys :) for the holidays my fam went to a cabin in rural PA and i got to bring my boyfriend which was nice. i hope you and mr cana had a lovely holiday as well

u/ravenzsnow - i looooove this fox postcard! i'm going to have to follow that artist on instagram. the stickers you used (and the little drawing lol) are so cute i love them all. i also cannot wait for dexter: resseurection!!!! i need to catch up on dexter: origins or whatever the new one is called. i have 2 episodes that are calling my name!

u/jdoodle7 - thank you for my first valentine's card of the year! i love the quote you included too. why is it that the best quotes are always from "unknown" people?!

u/croissantfordinner - thank you so much for this amazing year of the snake card! its gorgeous and i'll keep it forever. i was born in 1989 so this is my year too!!! i remember learning about the lunar new year and chinese zodiac signs in 4th grade. we read the book "in the year of the boar and jackie robinson" by Bette Bao Lord--a core memory from that year.

u/ninajyang It is yet unopened, but the jellyfish washi tape is just... 😭😭 Perfect. I'm really looking forward to opening these on the surgery trip. Thank you!

u/sable__ As always, I love your handwriting and special touches. So good this your name pop up in my mail!

u/soxgal For the Disney postcard stickers! I'm with you… The older I get, the less patience I have for winter. I've been weirdly in tune with that season this year, but I'll be curious to see how that evolves.

u/durtlskdi For the very cool satellite photo of the crescent moon + excellent stamp combo. And the really kind words for Andrew! I so appreciate it, And everyone's appreciation for this person they have never met! It is indescribably wonderful. He will definitely enjoy this card.

u/remix_sakura For this really lovely starfish postcard from the science center! I think he's going to love it. I also adore your script handwriting.

This thank you ranges from late Christmas cards to early Valentines! Many of you I have already written back! Others I will continue to!

Thank you u/Technoplexxx for the National Park postcard, it's currently looking pretty on my fridge :)

Thank you to all who have mailed me some happy...or some drama! Those drama cards are coming in and i am loving them!

Also, I am currently listening to "Yours" by maye 💕💕

I received a blank Everglades National Park post card to pass along! Also a little note and they both came in an envelope. It’s so fun to get a post card in an envelope, I don’t know what it is, but I like it. Thank you for sending me a post card I can use to say hello to someone else in the community! (As soon as I stop procrastinating)

u/silvertlc Thank you for the adorable cupcake valentine and all the stickers! I love the horse stamp too🧁

u/dangerousresist9131 Thank you for the succulent card and the stickers! 🪴

u/happyjoy23 Thank you for the wolf card! I love the way you decorated the inside of the card with all the washi and stickers. Also, your message cracked me up about losing the card and finding it again 🐺

u/zesty_bitches Thank you for the sheep card!! This sheep drawing is freaking adorable and will be added to my scrapbook as soon as I’m done posting this 😄

u/lovingtheworldx Thank you for the card, stickers, bookmark and letter! I loved hearing about the little things that annoy you AND your dinosaur story. They were very helpful facts to know haha 🦖

u/teachfornyc Thank you for the peace & love card with the stickers! The little stamp stickers are sooo cute 💌

u/cosmicallyconstant Thank you for the valentines card and all the extras! I love the song recommendation card you drew 🎶

u/thecaledonianrose Thank you for the fairy postcard! I hope you’re able to get back to your garden soon 🧚

u/electronic_pie5061 (x2) Thank you for the Lego ice cream postcard! And thank you for the whale postcard! It’s still pretty, even if it’s not what you thought it would be 🌊

u/hippolytexxx Thank you for the meow mail postcard! You’re right, it IS my half birthday this month! 🐈

u/spookyseabird Thank you for the Montana postcard! You wrote on this card about what a mess it was because the stamp’s crooked, your username stamp got cut off, etc. I started laughing when I read that because the card also got torn in transit! It’s perfect, I love it 😄💜

u/charliespostcards Thank you for the Elizabeth Blackwell postcard! I always love learning new facts 👩‍⚕️

u/thanhquatorze Thank you for the card explaining your milkshake annoyance! I totally get why you’d get real annoyed real fast with that one 🥤

u/colorfulpeanutpatrol Thank you for the Crater Lake postcard! I love the one star review cards, the make me laugh 😂

u/catnatomy Thank you for the card, the envelope with the lovely Reeruro art on the back, and the stickers! Very happy to receive your mail today!! I enjoyed reading about your word or theme for last year and this year. What is very interesting and cool is that I actually have the exact same ones, and "patience" has been mine for the last two years. This year I am going more for "here," and just happened to have experienced things last night where "here" is needed or else it could be easy for me to be overwhelmed. Then the next day, your card arrives with yours and the timing is so fascinating! I like coincidences like these, and probably needed to read your thoughts today!! Hope you enjoyed reading this Thank You post too!

Hellllooo again! I'm having so much fun sharing these old cards of mine with y'all!! I have three Sea World cards that actually have the date they were printed on them (two are 1986 and one is 1988). One has an image of a dolphin, another one penguins, and the last one has Shamu (!!)

I've created a Google Form where I'm going to ask you to write a bit more detail about why you're interested in one of these special cards. I'll be choosing the 3 most compelling answers, so I'm so sorry that depending upon the response rate not everyone who is interested is going to receive a card. Eeks!

Thanks y'all! Here you go: https://forms.gle/oCSr9X7YgvDb9KLs9

u/NightThink thank you for the local artist card! I thought that was your username for a sec haha. I'm aiming to support more local artists as well :))

u/melhen16 having your own username sticker is so smart! Thank you for the fun facts & cute stickers! I love the cow ones. Where did you buy rolls of stickers? I'm interested in some for myself!

u/aepeyc Thank you for sharing about where you live! I love the bird card & it's going on the postcard wall!!

u/RiccotaChicken Thank you so much for the gorgeous koi card. I love the artwork so much! It sounds like you have some exciting things coming up! ☺️

My life is a mess. Your cards are bright spots.

*Thank you u/dropofpoison86 for the zebra card and especially the blue cats stickers. I didn't realize I like blue cats. This may be my introduction to a new collecting obsession. 💙

*Thank you u/pinkpengin for the Challenge 26: Self-Care card. I made a new years resolution to drink more water, so this card will help! I agree with you that postcarding is self-care. Hello to your kitties 😸

*Thank you also to Ryan APO for the cute Corgi card. I cannot find your username. I'm sorry. This card made me smile this morning and that was much needed. 🙂

Hiya! Valentines day is too lonely, lets change that.

I'm offering random, homemade cards. Overflowing with stickers, poems, origami roses, anything!

And I'll personalize it! Tell me weird, random things about yourself! Favorite videogame? Favorite breaking bad character? Favorite kind of tea? Favorite SNL skit? Literally tell me anything- do you love pokemon? Then expect a snorlax love poem!

And I'll tell you about me, too! Because I really need a valentine :(

Please DM

i’m super into mythology so i loved this one!!!

one of cambremer and one of chicago!
